Snapdeal brings products to you at lightening speed

Where ever you are. You can still go ahead with online shopping. As Snapdeal, the e-commerce major has introduced a range of initiatives to ensure its users continue to get fastest ever deliveries during the festive season when shipment volumes surge multi-fold, the company said in a statement.

Apart from discounts and easy EMIs, leading etailers are also gearing up to ensure quicker deliveries to customers in order to boost their gross merchandise value and reverse the slowdown in sales this year. In the run up to Diwali, all pre-shipment checks on fast moving items like mobile phones, memory cards, power banks, personal care appliances, kitchen appliances, air conditioners, televisions, home theater systems, printers etc. has already been done, so that packets can be dispatched within minutes of the order being received.

To ensure fast deliveries across the country, nearly 20,000 tonnes of cargo will move by air, for which bulk bookings have been done by Snapdeal's logistics partners.

While all the fulfillment centres will work 24X7, the deliveries too will start earlier at 8am and will continue till 8pm to cater to the increase in volumes. The logistics teams have been augmented by temporary staff hired to ensure that shipments reach within the committed timelines despite the increase in volumes.

Snapdeal currently has nearly 2 million sq feet of warehousing space with it, which is being rapidly expanded by Vulcan Express, its 100% subsidiary.
